I had idea that Shiitake could this to a person's urine who eat a lot of them.
Of course I never ate Shiitakes before or for matter even seen them. The mushrooms I have eaten are the standard brown and white ones that are most commonly sold in stores. At least in the US...

There is research being done with "magic" mushrooms, but as far as I know that's more in the field of neurology than it is about creating drugs or treatments.

Yeah, typical bland Americanized version of mushrooms.
The white are just albino versions of the brown; and the brown are just immature portobellos. So all three of the most popular type of mushroom in the US are actually the same species.

Igor_Kavinski wrote:Mushrooms are high in a sugar called Ribose. Normally, this gives you extra energy as it increases ATP in the body and results in lowering blood glucose. However, if you are diabetic with high blood sugar, your blood is actually flooded with Ribose. Eating like 200 or 100 grams of mushrooms will lead to really bad consequences in such a scenario, as the unmetabolized Ribose actively participates in glycation reactions and damages internal organs. Found this out the hard way. Took me 2 years to recover and bring normalcy back to my health.

These data demonstrate that D-ribose but not D-glucose reacts rapidly with proteins and produces significant amounts of AGEs in both cultured cells and the mouse brain, leading to accumulation of AGEs which may impair mouse spatial cognition.
Redocbew wrote:Dude, don't worry about it.
D-ribose rapidly glycates proteins, such as BSA, neuronal Tau and α-synuclein, producing advanced glycation end products (AGEs) with severe cytotoxicity, leading to dysfunction and cell death, in vitro and in vivo. Intraperitoneal injection of D-ribose into mice significantly increases their glycated serum protein and blood AGEs though the concentration of D-glucose became slightly decreased, suggesting that D-ribose is much easier to produce AGEs than D-glucose in vivo.
